SPORTS BRIEFS

NEW YORK -- Two people with knowledge of the plans say the lead negotiators for the NBA owners and players will meet Wednesday for just the second time since the lockout began.

Commissioner David Stern, deputy commissioner Adam Silver and San Antonio Spurs owner Peter Holt, who leads the labor relations committee, will take part, as will players' association executive director Billy Hunter and union president Derek Fisher of the Lakers.

Crittenton sought

ATLANTA -- Former NBA player Javaris Crittenton, who was suspended from the league for having guns in a locker room with teammate Gilbert Arenas, plans to surrender to face a murder charge in a deadly Atlanta shooting, an attorney said Monday.

Police earlier obtained a murder warrant for Crittenton in the Aug. 19 shooting of 22-year-old Jullian Jones, a mother of four young children. Police say Jones was walking with two men when she was shot and they believe one of the men with her was the target.

Woodson hired

NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks have hired former Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Woodson as an assistant to Mike D'Antoni.

Woodson led the Hawks to three playoff berths in his six seasons in Atlanta, but was let go after they were swept in embarrassing fashion by Orlando in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals.

AUTO RACING

Harvick clinches

wild-card berth

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Kevin Harvick has clinched at least a wild-card berth in the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Harvick was not listed among drivers who had clinched after Saturday night's race at Bristol because there are still scenarios where he could fall outside of the top 10 in points. Further review Monday by NASCAR determined his three victories this season have earned him at minimum one of the two wild cards.

That leaves seven spots open to be claimed over the next two races, at Atlanta and Richmond.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

SDSU hands

Fisher extension

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego State coach Steve Fisher has received a four-year contract extension and longtime assistant Brian Dutcher has been designated as his eventual replacement.

The deal could keep Fisher at SDSU through the 2014-15 season, if he wants to serve it out.

Dutcher has been with Fisher since 1988 at Michigan.

GOLF

Woods adds event to fall schedule

NORTON, Mass. -- Tiger Woods will play the Frys.com Open in California the first week of October, his first time competing in the PGA Tour's Fall Series as he tries to get his game ready for the Presidents Cup.

The Frys.com Open is Oct. 6-9 at CordeValle Golf Club, about 45 minutes south of his alma mater at Stanford.

"I always enjoy competing in my home state, and this tournament fits my schedule perfectly," Woods said Monday on his website. "I'm looking forward to seeing some old friends."

TRACK

American wins

by disqualification

DAEGU, South Korea -- Olympic champion Dayron Robles was disqualified for interfering with Chinese star Liu Xiang in the 110-meter hurdles Monday, giving runner-up Jason Richardson of the United States the victory in one of the most anticipated races at the world championships.

In a race almost as controversial as the 100 final disqualification of Usain Bolt a day earlier, Robles crossed the line first, but Liu appealed after the Cuban tangled with him over the two last hurdles, which dropped Liu into third place. The track referee disqualified Robles for "obstruction."

An appeal by the Cubans was denied. The American benefited when Liu slowed down after contact was made with Robles, and finished second.
